Hi guys,
I am not sure where exactly to post this. Figured either garage sale thread or here.
But figured in garage sale, probably have less people linked to grass cutting machines.
So here it is.
I have an almost 100% spoiled GL300 grass cutter.
Although i had just ordered a GL4525 from Lazada, I just hate to throw away things that I haven't even try to fix.
So the problem with my GL300 is that its still spinning but smoke starts to come out of it.
I guess because i didn't take a good care of it - had left long grasses tangled to the spool carrier for too long may be the cause if malfunctioning.
Also the guard had broken off - quite flimsy IMHO.
So i tried taking it apart and found out the motor is producing the smoke. Probably one of the inner casing had broken somehow and broken parts got into the motor. I couldn't take apart the motor as it has magnetic parts..plus i don't think i have the skills for it.
So just before i throw this out (semi to almost non functioning grass trimmer), i thought id ask here if anyone else had the same issue.
Or better still, has one that is unused (due to other malfunctions or broken parts or other reasons) so i can buy from you (minimal price) to replace my broken parts.
I saw one post from 3 years ago that some guy had it. But hate to revive that thread.
Just wondering maybe any of you moved to an apartment/condo and no longer using it, id gladly take it off your hands and put it to use.
Brand new is just 120 bucks or so. The point here is fixing the thing so i can reduce the carbon footprint.
For guide I am referring to Part 6 and Part 7. Refer to http://www.powertoolspares.com/tool/black-...type1b1/spares/ . I also tried asking them for parts but they dont produce anymore. China made B&D.
Cheers.
How do i tag these guys? @ doesnt seem to work.
